I'm looking at the URL in my browser, and it's using
http://forum.dlang.org.
Sorry but I don't love it. I can't edit posts, it frequently
hangs when refreshing, hangs when posting, and it breaks up
threads frequently (like this one), which is rather unpleasant if
you're trying to follow a lengthy conversation.
My guess is that the people using a newsreader are OK, but a ton
of people prefer to use web browsers, I would hazard a guess that
most people who use the Internet don't even know what a
newsreader is.
Of the features listed on http://www.mybb.com/features, it
would be great to include voting. Other than that, clearly we
should on fixing the issues with the system (as opposed to
switching to another one).
Someone really needs to take a look at what's going wrong and try
to fix it, and if it cannot be fixed, than I would say an
alternative should be seriously considered.
